w. r. Sivley sold this cotton to j. w.
Roberts & Co. for about $4,000.
On the trial it was claimed, among
other things, that Mrs Sivley had
waived any right she may have had
under the contract, by stating 70 Lee
after the execution of the deed OF trust,
that her son, A. b. Sivley, was to pay
no rent. The evidence as TO whether
she made any such statement was con-
ficting.
The court instructed the jury for the
plaintiff, as follows: II. Ii the Jury
believe from the evidence, that the three
bales of cotton in controversy Is COW
cred by and embraced in the deed OF
trust signed by A. B. Sivley, and that
the accounts due w. ID. Lee by said A.
b. Sivley and advanced under said deed
of trust have not been fully paid and
satisfied, then they will find for the
plaintiff"
%. If the jury believe from the evi-
dence that the contract between A. b.
Sivley and his mother, Mrs. E: ii. Slv-
lev, was for paying taxes, making ne
cessary repairs on the place, and Tor
supporting his father and mother, ana
there was no specified sum named IN
the contract of the amodnt to be PAID
for improvements, and for the support
of his father and mother, and no specl-
fed amount of taxes to be paid, then
Mrs. Sivley had no lien which she can
enforce at law on said crop, and that
the Jury must find for plaintiff. The
Jury found for the plaintitf In repleVln
and the defendant appealed.
CAMPBELL, j., delivered the opinion OF
the Court.
The first and second instructions Tor
the plaintiff should not have been CIV
en-. If the tenant was to pay the taxes
ON a specified tract of land for given
wear. that was certain enough to secure
to the lessor all the rights given by
statute as to the agricultural products
of the leased premises, for that item OF
the rent stipulated for, and it seems
plain that this was the contract between
Mrs. Sivley and her son as to the occu-
pancy of the land. Therefore, II the
three bales of cotton were delivered to
her for the payment of the taxes the
tenant was to pay, her claim to the cot
ton was paramount to that OF the claim
ant under the deed of trust, II she mad
not precluded herself by a waiver as
alleged.

jury to consider whether it was murder
or manslaughter, was erroneous. The
provocation was adequate, and the time
which elapsed between it and the killing
was so brief as to render it at least.a
proper question for the determination of
the jury, notwithstanding the previous
threats made by appellant, whether in
the commission of the act, he was i'm

by the provocation, or by previous
malice. Whether the homicide was re-

A Remarkable Diamnnd

Henry Fera, the John street diamond man.
has in his possession a remarkable jewel. 1t
is diamond in the rough, nearly round, and
weights 80 carats. When the cutter took
the stone to prepare it for the polisher. the
first sharp blow divided the diamond into
two nearly equal parts Upon examination
1t was found that a perfect, natural diamond
crystal had been the nucleus about which the
layer stone had formed The nucleus is a
perfect cube, and weighs apparently three
fifths of carat. One-half of the cube pro-
jects above the face of the matrix. 1t is the
only specimen of diamond crystal in the

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and undressing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when
vigorous and tranquil, gives its possessor
no uneasiness at night. A tonic, TO be
effective, should not be mere appetizer,
nor are the nerves to be strengthened and
soothed by the unaided action OF soda
tive or a narcotic. What is required is a
medicine which invigorates the stomach,
and promotes assimilation of food by the
system, by which means the nervous sys-
TEN, as well as other parts of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are
the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine whose reputation is founded
firmly in public confidence, and which
physicians commend for its tonic, anti
bilious and other properties. 1t is used
with the best results in fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and uterine weakness,
aid other maladies

Noted for His Agility.

Mr.. John Ripple, who died in Ogle, Pa.
recently, at the age of 81 years, was a noted
citizen of the place. where he was best known
as "Old Johnny Ripple" Large stories are
told of his strength and agility. 1t is said
that when he was in his prime he could kick
tinware from a store ceiling eleven feet above
the floor. Once, when rafting on the Monon-
gahela river, the raft was wrecked, and he
escaped by jumping twenty feet to a
rock, from which he - rescued. He would
place four and five hogsheads in row, jump
out of the first into the second, and so on to
the last, then jump backward to the first,
with apparent ease.-New York Sun.

In Too Big a Hurry.

A veteran Boston fireman, in his anxiety to
make record the other night, mounted his
carriage upon hearing an alarm and drove to
the fire, utterly ignorant Of the fact that in
his haste he had forgotten to put on either
pantaloons or boots. As his carriage flew
along the street a wag shouted: @Save me,

the life current is foul and sluggish with

A Prehistoric Cifizen-

A curious relic was discovered few DAYS
ago near Phoenix, A T., by a farmer while
digging a well on his ranch. At about nine
feet below the surface he came upon the skel-
eton of man, the bones of which, however,
fell to pieces when he attempted TO move
them. He has no doubt that this prehistoric
citizen was giant, as the thigh bones were
nearly four feet long and the feet were more
extensive than those of the proverbial st.
Louis girl. Under the body was a large and
heavy war club, made from mesquite or iron
wood, and this was in a state of perfect pres
ervation. II is now on exhibition. Chicago
